Dark Poetry

Sad but excellent, Hull!

It sounds just like it would in your mind. Well done, Hulla.

Two words often said come to mind...if only. This is so very sad, Hully.

We can't force anyone to accept support, they must be receptive. But still we are left wondering. It is a tragic situation all around.

A great, dark poem, Hull.

Whoa! I feel so sad after reading this-which means great work.

Great poem loved it

Dark poetry, I know a thing or two about this. Such a difficult topic to write about, because there is no cure for this. Through depression and suicidal thoughts, most people are dismissive of any help, because it doesn't help them enough. And at the same time, we can't force them to accept help. In the end, the only voice they listen to, is the voice in their head, and most of the time unfortunately, it gives them the wrong advice. A powerful dark write Hully. This is real life, and there is no cure.

I have no problem with you using that last sentence. Intrigued to see what kind of poem/story you would use it for :)

There is a place that looms in shadows of that time when one simply cannot take anymore. It is a refuge of pleasant solace filled with endless fantasies of bringing to an end all the pain and suffering that goes on behind smiling faces and sparkling eyes that seek to hide all the pain inside. It is an imaginary world quite invisible to those around you, those who even believe that they know you, those who see you as a bright light to all the world around you, and are utterly clueless to the tears falling endlessly behind a smile that is but a sacrifice offered for the sake of pleasing others and for painted disguise hiding the rain that is your daily pain soothed only by those moments spent in a fairy-tale land of imagination run wild as that one true friend who has an entertaining inkling, a most perfect ideation, of how best to bring it all to an end.

Perhaps, I have engaged in a bit of gross misinterpretation, perhaps not. However, I truly enjoyed delving between the lines of possible meaning you have aptly penned to page. Dark thoughts give rise to dark imaginations running wild ...
